The pyramid of energy is always upright for any ecosystem. This situation indicates the fact that __________
- A Carnivores have a better energy conversion efficiency than herbivores.
- B Producers have the lowest energy conversion efficiency.
- C Herbivores have a better energy conversion efficiency than carnivores.
- D Energy conversion efficiency is the same in all trophic levels.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Herbivores have a better energy conversion efficiency than carnivores.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(C) Herbivores have a better energy conversion efficiency than carnivores.,
The pyramid of energy is always upright as energy transfer is more efficient at higher trophic levels, meaning carnivores convert available enegy more efficiently than herbivores.
The pyramid of energy is always upright as energy transfer is more efficient at higher trophic levels, meaning carnivores convert available enegy more efficiently than herbivores.
